The digital library establishes a digitised quality assurance process that means we can trace and record critical data from design through to operation..
There are many possible options for any business challenge and with digital simulations we can rapidly consider them and focus our attention on the best-performing ones.. DATA ANALYSIS DELIVERS A BETTER BUILT ENVIRONMENT.This approach is applicable not just to complex factories but to projects ranging from schools to offices, prisons, airports and others.
At Bryden Wood we use data analytics to deliver best-in-class designs in many building sectors.Our work in healthcare has recently culminated in the completion of the Circle Birmingham hospital which delivered a state-of-the-art new facility for 30% less cost than comparable hospitals.. Data analytics is one key reason we can achieve such major cost advantages on projects delivered in this way.By gaining a much deeper understanding of project and process requirements early on, we can quickly settle on a functional solution and start thinking about the most efficient construction method (and opportunities for introducing DfMA) far sooner than would be conventionally possible.. DIGITAL, DATA AND CLIENT COLLABORATION IS THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION.
At every step in this process, the use of digital tools to visualise and interpret data is instrumental to engaging with client-side stakeholders in a truly collaborative working environment.Our analysts will often become embedded in client teams, building our process understanding while at the same time the client becomes embedded in our design team, allowing us to reach a shared agreement of what the best possible solution looks like.. Having been static and traditional for so long, the construction industry today is fast-paced and evolving in many ways.
Bryden Wood is at the forefront of that change and we see data analytics as playing an ever more important role in a smarter, more productive and digitally enabled future..

Renewables also have problems to do with dispatch power and consistency, as well as challenges with site locations.Last summer, which was a still and cloudy one, wind and solar simply didn’t generate as much energy as we would have liked, and at this stage, all of the easiest, most suitable sites (the ones which may have access to transmission, and are very suited to wind and solar projects), have already been taken.. Interestingly, while energy systems modelling for wind and solar power often shows a hockey stick curve, as if the upward trajectory of deployment will continue undeterred, in actual fact, this isn’t the case.
Over time, we find that the hockey stick turns into an S shaped curve instead.In other words, renewables are getting progressively harder to do.
